Novel diaminopropyl substituted organotin compounds

A novel synthetic pathway involving the desilylation of a tin trimethylsilyl species (Ph2Sn(SiMe3)2) towards non-protected di(3-aminopropyl)tin dichloride (Cl2Sn(CH2)3NH2) is described. Di(3-aminopropyl)tin dichloride is then converted to the respective dicarboxylates species (RCOO)2Sn(CH2)3NH2)2 employing carboxylic acids of different lengths (R = -CH3, -(CH2)10CH3). Depending on the nature of R, discrete packing effects are observed in the solid state of di(3-aminopropyl)tin dicarboxylate derivatives.
